ALEXANDRA BURKE RELEASES “OVERCOME - DELUXE EDITION” IN DECEMBER
Following three number one singles, a number one double platinum selling album, innumerable radio spins and a tour for early next year selling at haste, Alexandra Burke celebrates her champion year with a brand new, deluxe version of her debut album ‘Overcome’, released in Ireland on Friday 3rd December.
Originally released in 2009, the A-list produced album has-to-date whistled past the international million sales mark and will soon surpass that figure in the UK alone.
Created with the help of the industries most in-demand production houses (Roc Nation and Jay-Z, RedOne, The Phantom Boyz, Ne-Yo and Stargate) the album has produced five massive hit singles and now Alexandra is ready for round two.
‘Overcome - Deluxe Edition’ features Alexandra’s five smash singles ‘Hallelujah’, ‘Bad Boys’, ‘Broken Heels’, ‘All Night Long’ and this summer’s number one hit ‘Start Without You’. In addition, it now includes a new version of the emotional ballad ‘The Silence’, the lead track from the album, as well as three brand new songs.
‘Perfect’, written for Alexandra by US singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, is an epic ballad, showcasing Burke’s superlative vocals, while ‘What Happens On The Dancefloor’ sees her team up with American Pop-Punk band ‘Cobra Starship’ for another knockdown dance floor smash courtesy of RedOne. ‘Before The Rain’ completes the line up; delivering the final blow of pop brilliance.
Since emerging as victor of the X Factor in 2008, Alexandra Burke has been nominated for numerous awards including the BRITS and MOBOs and recently won the award for Ultimate Pop Star at the Cosmopolitan woman of the year awards.
Rehearsals for her own UK and Ireland tour are underway and she has also completed a harrowing hike up the Inca Trail in Peru for charity, as well as her two relief trips to Haiti following the earthquake.
The last two years have been somewhere beyond Alexandra’s dreams.
